“I stand in a land of roses,
But I dream of a land of snow,
Where you and I were happy,
In the years of long ago.”

“Give me a land of boughs in leaf
A land of trees that stand;

Where Traffic blows
From lands of sun to lands of snows;—

From lands of snow to lands of sun.”

“Take cases like Golder's Green and other cases of a similar kind where the value of land has gone up in the course, perhaps, of a couple of years through a new tramway or a new railway being opened. … A few years ago there was a plot of land there which was sold at £160. Last year I went and opened a tube railway there. What was the result? This year that very piece of land has been sold for £2,100—£160 before the railway was opened—before I was there—£2,100 now. My Budget demands 20 per cent. of that.”
